  1. Are you logged into Tvheadend with a user that has permission to record?
  2. From the FAQ: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=48508.msg466263#msg466263
  3. Several years ago when I first built my unRaid server, I had several WD Green drives that needed the idle timer adjusted. I was able to just use a precompiled file. I certainly didn't have to compile it myself. Not in front of my server right now so I can't see if the file is still on my flash drive, but I did find this with a quick search of the forums: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40062.msg453869#msg453869
  4. If you are just looking for a GUI for moving files around on your server, check out the Dolphin and/or Krusader dockers.
  5. This isn't true with the LSIO docker. You can set it to latest and it will pull the newest version every time you restart it. No need for an update to the docker image. You can also specify a specific version number (which is what is required to use beta versions of Plex, i.e. the Plex DVR Beta releases). I strongly recommend running Plex in a docker container. Once you understand how docker volume mappings work (it's really simple once the light bulb clicks on), then it is very easy to install and run docker containers.
  6. I using Tvheadend running in a docker, with a HDHomerun tuner. I use an older 2 TB hard drive (pulled from my array when I upgraded that slot to an 8 TB drive) with Unassigned Devices as temporary recording space. Works great and runs solid.
  7. My Music and Computer Backups (via Crashplan) are all on one disk. Everything else is spread out on all other disks, but I do use split levels to keep all episodes of a TV Show on the same disk. When I first started with unRaid, I had specific disks allocated for Movies, and for TV Shows, and it got to be too much of a hassle as disks filled up and I add new disks to my array. So I eventually just removed all excluded/included disk settings except for the Music and Computer Backups shares.
  8. I registered my domain name with GoDaddy. I use Zoho to host my email server for free, there are several guides on the internet on how to set it up. I can then access my email on my iPhone, iPad, Zoho web site (hardly ever use), and Outlook running on my home PC. Works great, fairly easy to setup, and once setup have never had to touch it again. I don't have a web page server for my domain name. Slightly off-topic: I do use dynamicdns (free) to point my domain name to my home IP address. I use the ddclient docker to keep my dynamic IP address (even though I don't think it has ever changed) up to date with my domain name. Then I use the OpenVPN docker to access my home network by using my domain name. I have experimented with using a web server docker to host my own webpage from my unRaid server, but I have since deleted that.
  9. I believe I just used the default docker template. It is running in Host mode /music is mapped to my music folder on my server /config is mapped to a daapd subfolder in my appdata folder Maybe post a screen shot of the daapd docker config page along with the output of the docker run command when it installs.
  10. I use this docker every day to stream music to various speakers around my house. I control it with the iPhone Remote app. No issues for me.
  11. AFAIK we haven't given it any thought as the DVR stuff is very US/Homerun centric, and comskip and ffmpeg would need to be incorporated into the container themselves. It would be nice if there was a docker that just contained comskip and ffmpeg (and any other dependencies). Then you could just set it up to watch a folder for new recordings and put the processed video files into an output folder. Sickbeard or Sonar could then be configured watch the processed video folder.
  12. The Plex DVR functionality is still in Beta. I fully expect Live TV support at some point (which I likely won't use much anyways). And there are a couple 3rd party plugins you can install in Plex to enable Live TV through a Channel. I already owned an HD Homerun device that I was using with the TVHeadend Docker. I will say that setting up the Plex DVR to record took about 2 minutes total time. Setting up TVHeadend took forever and not nearly as user friendly.
  13. From the Plex DVR FAQ page: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/226463767-Frequently-Asked-Questions-DVR What about live TV or time-shifting? It is not currently possible to watch TV live or time-shift it before the recording has ended. Recordings must complete before they can be viewed. Live TV/time-shifting is an area in which we're interested. How do I configure and use Plex DVR? While recorded DVR programs can be viewed from any Plex app, scheduling recordings and DVR configuration can only be performed from within the Plex Web app. You can always access Plex Web at https://plex.tv/web and manage recordings, even when you're away from home.
  14. Recently added means recently added to the Plex library, not recently added to your server or hard drives. If you just installed Plex, or just rebuilt your Plex library from scratch, then everything would be recently added. Or did you create some new Plex libraries and move files around? Those files would be recently added to that new library.
  15. thanks, good information. and thanks for not posting the version here. And thanks to you (and LS.io) for planning ahead and creating a Plex Docker Container that can run Beta versions of software!
  16. Actually, to update to the Beta DVR version only requires setting the "Version" environmental variable to the Beta version number. Installed with no issues. I won't list the version number in this forum, but anyone with a PlexPass can access the Plex DVR Beta forum and find it there.
  17. No way for a PlexPass user to manually download the file from the beta post and put somewhere in the docker container so it will be used during docker container startup?
  18. Using Crashplan would be an easier solution. Install the Crashplan docker on your unRAID server and install the Crashplan PC client on each of the remote computers and point their backup location to your server. And backups will be scheduled to occur automatically. Anything that requires the end user to manually backup (connect to VPN, manually copy files, etc...) will not provide reliable backups.
  19. I use the daapd docker to run an "iTunes" music server on my unRaid box. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44210.0 I can control it by using my iPhone (Remote App) and it will play to multiple Airplay receivers and keep them all in sync so I have whole house audio. I use a Shairport app on my Windows computer to make it an Airplay receiver. I use Shairport running on 2 Raspberry Pi devices connected to powered speakers to make them Airplay receivers. My Yamaha Receiver in my family room has Airplay functionality. And I have Apple TV devices connected to a couple TVs in the house. I have 8 total zones that I can stream music to. I can play music to any or all of the devices at the same time, with all the zones in sync and the ability to control each volume level independently or simultaneously, all from my iPhone or iPad. And I don't have to keep the iPhone connected, it just interfaces to control what is playing when I want to change something (i.e. skip a song).
  20. Suggestion for the crowd (like me) that may want to copy the super.dat file and know the risks involved in using an outdated backup copy: copy the super.dat as part of the backup but rename the file (superdat.bak) so an experienced user could rename the file and use it if they were absolutely sure it was the correct disk configuration.
  21. In my custom scripts that are run via cron I add logger lines that put entries in the system log file. For example: logger "custom task started" logger "custom task ended"
  22. Using Beta software requires an internet connection: "2. Your server must have access to the Internet to use the unRAID 6.2 beta." http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=47875.0 You will either need to downgrade to 6.1.9 or wait until you get your internet turned on at your house.
  23. Yeah, you don't need to do any "apt-gets". I set this up with no issues following the instructions from this post, expect I changed from PAM to local and created new user from the web GUI: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43317.msg451171#msg451171
  24. I set this up last week with no issues following the instructions from this post, expect I changed from PAM to local and created new user from the web GUI: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43317.msg451171#msg451171 The connectivity test within the app doesn't work, it always fails for me too.
